How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
About our fish and chip van for events in Huntercombe
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. For crew and volunteer catering and fish and chip supper nights, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas for your guests.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Huntercombe are made for a chip van. Send us the pitch and access details. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Most events have a burger van. Fish and chips adds variety. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What you get with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- A quote that spells everything out
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.

Mushy peas

How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your visitors, and we agree exactly where before the day. Summer events in Huntercombe have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
